Wipeout HD advice and tips

I'm new to wipeout, been playing it for a few hours and I am doing ok.

 

I thought I would start a thread for advice and tips. So please post any you might have.

 

 

I'll start it off with a couple of question:

Can you boost at the start like some racing games? if so how?

Can you get any extra speed from the boost pads?

 

Many thanks

Soon as you see GO on the countdown , hit the gas and that should give you a nice little boost start

Re: Wipeout HD advice and tips

dont press the 'X button at all until 'GO'.
doing so, even once, during the count will null the boost.
(obviously you can press X when it tells you to on the bottom of the screen ;P )

dont know if others will know this (probably will) but to get your energy back up during the race (because recharge pads from the old wipeout games are gone now) you press 'O' to absorb the weapon you are currently carrying.

(i think 'O' use to just trash/drop the weapon, now its your only means of staying alive when smashing into barriers left and right)

There's a full game manual in the interface explaining everything - though off the top of my head I can't recall under which menu section.
